2. Important activities and events of HUBEX
The suntropical high and a high pressure center merged which makes the rainfall band mainly located at Changjiang River Basin and further south areas. In addition, a cold air which located at west part of HUBEX a -region moved eastward and produced rainfall there. There are some small amount of rainfall in northern part of Anhui Province and some thunderstorms within HUBEX a -region. Dr. Zhang Wenjian and Ms. Zhang Yan went to Shouxian, Huainan and Fengtai for situ investation today and discussion with Japan scientists there on observation issues and data exchange. |
